You're not wrong with Trump's Machiavellian thrust on similar foundations ;)

I'm not hating on Nietzsche, just using the goto argument that most people associate with early Nazism. The Brits, French, Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch all had their own take on nationalism around the same time. Industrialisation changed the workforce and the US changed the governance of peoples (Not without its own problems either!).

There was a lot going down and some glib musings from a highly educated soul can have knock-on effects which may have been nothing more than observations and estimates based thereupon.

That said Nietzsche did represent intellectualism and the beginning of what is currently known as post-modernism. If it hadn't been him it would have been someone like him :)

I get that Nietzsche is the goto for the rise of the Nazis but it's not without warrant.

The influences of Kant and Schopenhauer on his philosophical thinking married with Goethe, Dostoevsky, Wagner and Zoroaster for his leisurely pursuits set against the fashionable French moralists all set the stage for a Germany proud of its unbeaten history and wish to expand into the ideals, and riches, of the East.

He was a studied man of his time and many manifestations of that era show that 'nationalist' pride infected much of the position of Germany as a force to be reckoned with.

The Great War is what caused Nazis to be born but there was proud blood and a feeling of losing the pole position for the future which ignited in fear and intolerance, things seen across the globe after 1918, and that pride was placed at Nietzsche's feet whether he would have wanted it or not.

Both World Wars started out from a Europe at war with itself and it spreading to its colonies and provoking instability elsewhere but a firm hand at its origins was Nietzsche (Among others).

Don't know who is downvoting this but time to get the flags of liberty up and flying over their Nietzsche loving heads!

We didn't rename Gamergate but it seems they have renamed the Nazis.

What we really need are the numbers before covid and after it.

Somebody had head office should have seen the body count reflect in their stats.

Just as a point of showing how on-point their systems are.

They know when Timmy is a penny short or a minute late.

It's just shitty writers and DEI money.

That will dry up soon and hopefully a whole bunch of indie comics will finally get the sunlight they deserve.

Nothing too meta or subversive, just something new.

You are thinking too linearly in terms of content, curation and publishing.

Paid subs can't ban, shadowban or censor paying members' comments, if they try to then they enter a whole legal quagmire as to who holds content which can't be seen by paying members in order for its value to be judged. And that's only the beginning of that particular path.

And so qualified trannies (Or an AI quality assurance filter) would then have to be used to justify actions taken to a court of law, with a public record of events. That level of responsibility for a company on the stock market will come with a substantial monetary value.

Once there are paid people, or intelligent agents, deciding what can, or cannot, be seen by paying members of a particular sub there will be corruption - pick your poison from the many already shown to be at hand on that front!

Once corruption is provable and held to account Reddit dies.

Check out the burning misogyny from Louis Chilton!

Remakes aren't good things because they'll stiff over fans of the originals?

HAHAHA!

Yeah, that's our view and unless you pay up your Nazi membership card in full you can't have it!

There's no ambulances left to chase Louis, why don't you go back to cottaging in public toilets and leave the world alone?

Paid subs will mean liability.

Liability means paid tranny jannies.

Paid tranny jannies means guarantees lawsuits.

I like where this is going :)

The moment John Oliver mocked him I know I was locked into licking him.

I knew he was something of a media mogul, had cameos here and there in TV and movies but really didn't think much about him.

But then Hillary showed up and John Oliver thought Trump was a joke worth mocking over the plutocratic puppet which exemplified the authoritarian Left.

Easy side to pick and what an enjoyable ride it's been too :)

I was, and am, a classic liberal (In the non-US sense) and so would have been considered a Lefty all the way through Obama's administration. I know lots of people who also jumped ship as soon as Hillary showed up and so they did that one to themselves.

I can't believe she's speaking in public.

I'm off to do a Mundane Matt and collect some rocks for her ceremony later.

Nobody showed up to work?

Or the Zoom calls?

Or answered emails?

Imagine my shock!

But inference, nuance and subconscious bias are hard to convey through an expressive means like language or visuals.

At least that's what a tranny busted for paedophilia told me as they were shooting up skank they'd acquired after killing an old lady for her purse.

Trump 1.0 tried to give everyone the benefit of the doubt even if they were far out menwomen who wanted to dance naked in the street because teacher said it was good for everyone.

Trump 2.0 knows that the entire thing is full of crap and fuelled by narcissism and he happens to have that down pat.

Gut it, clean it, protect it and educate the next wave so they don't get duped so easily by those who only care about themselves in the here and now.

Best thing to happen to him, and everyone else, in my opinion was that baptism of fire.
